GOV. MARMADUKE,
He is Illustrating at COney Is,
land and May Go Abroad.

New York, July Ex-Governor Marina
duke. of Missouri, arrived in town to-day.
He thinks of going to Europe Saturday
for short trip, but If he concludes not TO
do so, he will do Coney Island and other
nearby resorts. As TO politics in his
state, he said: Owe do not have an cleo
ton in my state until 1888 and of course,
according to our law, can not be a can
didate for a second term. An interregnum
of one term must occur before a governor
can aspire 10 the honor again. / believe
IL is proper, too. The president, i think,
should be elected for six or eight years
and have one term tn ere would be less
politics in the Office then.
"What is the feeling of your state in re-
gerd to presidential candidates ?"
"The tendency is for President Cleve-
land again. He has made some very bad
appointments, especially In st. Louis, and
the people there pause when they think of
this. You see, we are afraid he is falling
into the hands of politicians, but he has
made some very good appointments
to support Mr.. Cleveland, but | can not
tell now what will happen between now
and the time of the national convention.
We ask the president to keep clear of the
politicians. Have we heard of Governor
Hill 0, yes but we have an idea he is
controlled by the machine"
"WIll the presidents refusal to 90 to st.
Louis have any effect against him ?"
"No, l think he intends to visit St.
Louis yet, and he will get rousing well
come. As TO the asgs, think they should
all be returned to the companies and regi-
ments that foated them during the war,
whether in the North or south. The war
should be forgotten"
at is rumored that you intend to run for
the senate against Senator Vest next year."
81 have heard so, but there is no truth
in it. Senator Vest is my friend, and /
think he will be reelected.

sponsibility of not inquiring into his

STORIES OF BATS.
American and Indian Aborigines Who Con
slider Them . Table Delicacy.

American and Indian Aborigines Who Con-
slider Them . Table Delicacy.
Bats are found in various places. and
in cold climates hibernate during the
winter; in other words, they are en-
abled to enter a dormant state and
live for months without eating. So
complete is this sleep that in cases e1-
amined the most delicate instrument
failed to detect breathing on the part
of the animal, and in another instance
the bat was placed under water without
any apparent harm resulting from the
extended bath. The deep sleeps are
generally passed in trunks of trees or
caves. and in the latter myriads of bats
are often found.
Far from being timid, the bats of
India are extremely bold in their dep
relations. and it is told of an officer
newly arrived in the country south of
the Punjaub that he was alarmed at
night by loud noises upon his piazza,
and thinking an attack was being made
by native robbers. he opened fire with
his revolver, to find that the uproar
was caused by fruit-bats that had been
robbing a wild-almond orchard and
had brought the nuts under the cover
of his veranda to open them.
Mr.. Fraser, naturalist, who trav-
eled extensively in Ecuador. describes
bat that went fishing, diving down to
the surface of the water and picking up
small crustaceans which were SWIM
ming near the surface. The bat, &C
cording to the same authority, Is very
affectionate. Referring to two kept as
pets, he says: They were social.
though both were males. usually hang
ing side by side. Sometimes they
brought their faces together and licked
each others open mouths in most
singular manner"
While bats have wings. they are en-
tirely different from those of q bird.
Imagine a mans finger as long IS his
body and booming out soft membrane
attached to the sides and ending at the
feet, and an idea of the bats wings
may be gained; each finger, with sim
gle exception, is heightened out and
connected like the ribs of an umbrella
with this extremely delicate and sensi-
tive wing.
Some of the small bats nip and bite
when attacked or taken; but to human
beings the odor is in many cases quite
sufficient to drive any but collector
away. This is particularly noticeable
in the bat known scientifically as cheir-
omeles torquatus. The body is almost
naked, and the odor so strong. over
towering and offensive that people have
been rendered sick while merely max
ing drawing of one.
Bats are famous for their habits of
intemperance, and party of drunken
ones is often met with. Their condi-
ton is due TO their love for the toddy
which they obtain from the chstties of
cocoanut trees. So intoxicated do they
become that they are often found at the
foot of trees sleeping off the effects of
their debauch, and so fall victims to the
vice.
Some of the American Indians do
not object to roast bat, and the big
fruit-bats of the Indian peninsula are
considered great luxuries by the
natives. As these animals have 8
stretch of wing of five feet it must re-
quire no little moral courage to eat
one. Chicago Netos.

THIEvING CASH GIRLS.
How the Majority OF Them Invest the Pr,
ceeds of Their Grimes.

c0cos Oh Euetr trtncss
A stout, well-dressed mau saunteret
into the lunch-room connected with
one of the uptown dry good, store;
the other day. His keen blue eyes tool
in the occupants of the room. but h
seemed to be entirely occupied with hi:
thoughts as he stood at one of the win.
dows. apparently looking out into the
street.
A little cash girl came into the room
and sat down at one of the tables re.
served for employees. I'm a moment she
was joined by another cash girl, and
this conversation ensued:
MARY" said the first little girl.
'what are you going to have for
lunch?"
ell am going to have a sandwich and
glass of milk" replied Mary.
20. am going to have more than
that" said the first girl. with a nod;
''my mother gave me q quarter to
spend for lunch"
The stout man did not appear to pay
any attention to this conversation. but
when the two girls hal finished and
gone away he walked up to the waiter
and asked:
"What did Lille German buv9"
''She bought chicken salad and ice
cream" replied the waiter.
"How much did it coSts"
Thirty GENTS" was the reply.
The stout man nodded. and. leaving
the room, walked down stairs to where
the cash girls were busily floating
around. Quickly singing out the one
he was in search of, he called her aside
into room which was fitted up like All
Office.
"Now. Lille" he said. 81 want you
to tell me where you got the money to
pay for your expensive lunch to-day"
.'Lillie turned all the colors of the
rainbow, but. assuming an air of inrN-
cence, said:
I'll got 1t from my mother"
Every WE'LL" said the stout man.
Where does your mother liyes am
going up to see her and ask her about
it."
The little rogue was now thoroughly
frightened and burst into tears. After
a short interval she confessed that she
had stolen the money from a parcel.
She received a severe talking to. after
which she was taken before the super
intendent and discharged.
'These young ones are the torment
of my life," said the detective to the
reporter. MANY of them are as ex-
pert as professionals at thieving, and
can lie with the assurance of a boss
bunco steerer. Every day word comes
from one of the counters that wrong
change has been received. D, of
course, the cash girl didn't take it
The tears well up in her eyes, and you
feel like kicking yourself for having
breathed a word against such cherub.
All the time she is lying like small
sized Satan. The first question de-
tective asks himself when he suspects
Q person of theft is: What has become
of the booty? Then he waits to see
the thief dispose of it That's what !
do with these little thieves. I have
found that when they steal their nat
ural desire is to get rid of their money
right away. The lunch counter is the
place they come to do it. When see
one of them indulging in luxuries and

in two then / know the cause and make
no bones of accusing her right away"

report the official sanction Of one of

1t is the building by Russia OF line
of railroad from the Caspian Sea to
Vladivostock on the Pacific Ocean,
or, more properly speaking, to the
most southerly point on Russian ter.
ritory bordering on the Sea of Japan.
This railway would unite the Allan
tic and the Pacific and give Russia
tremundoHs hold on Asia. In fact,
it will make her position formidable
in every way. Says the Paris Temps !:
She will be able to launch forth her
armies at pleasure either upon the
frontier of India or upon the frontier
OF China. She will be able to at.
tack the English either in Afghanis.
tan or ON the Pacific without it being
in the power of anyone to hinder or
interfere with her in any way" The
New York Herald says that it is
firmly believed that the new road
will be completed before October 1,
1891, but we do not think that it is
by any means certain that such a
great work can be done in four short
wears.
